NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. For sew
eral years past the inmates of the parish
prison in this city have been suffering
from 8 peculiar disease, accompanied
WITH g swelling of their heads and limbs,
and frequently terminating in death. II
returned this year, tWenty-nine cases and
five deaths having occurred since Janu-
airy. The disease has generally been at
triOuted to the damp condition Of the
prison, which is g very old
brick structure, and there has been q
general demand for its condemnation and
the erection of g better prison. The
physician of the State Board Of Health
was deputized to make an examination
of the matter, and his report. Just pre-
scented, does away with the dampness,
and the sickness and deaths in the prison
is due to insufficient food The rations
seemed to consist OF cup of tea and
piece of bread in the
morning, and soup and boiled
beef taken from the souo during the day.
The mest for the soup is provided oy
contract at very low rate and mas a.
several times been condemned oy the res
ident surgeon. This food is wholly in
sufficient. The inspecting physician de-
clares several of the prisoners presented
evidence Of scurvy and the disease was
restricted almost wholly TO where
he had been confined for months or more,
and dependent upon these starvation ra-
, lions. The board Of health Calls the at
tention OF the city authorities TO this con-
dition of affairs, and insists that the
prisoners be provided with better meat,
and vegetables occasionally,

Special to the Gazette.
FORT SMITH, ARK, Sept. John
Perry, the young railroad conductor
from Denison, Tex.,swas convicted this
afternoon, ia the Federal court, on a
charge of robbing freight cars on the
Missouri Pacific Railway, between Mus.
kogee, |. T., and Denison, Tex. He was
committed to Jail to await sentence,
having been on bond. He was the last
OF three cases, j. w. Davis having
been previously convicted on six
counts, and Wilson G. Cordrsy acquitted.
The testimony in these cases shows that
in September, 1886, Charles Mylan, freight
conductor, Hank Owens, Wilson G. Co: -
drsv and j W. Davis were arrested-all
charged with robbing freight CARS. They
were at once brought before the court
here and gave bond for their appearance,
Mylan's bond being placed al $500 and
the others st $500 each. Mylan
and Owens jumped their bond
and when Cordrsy and Davis came into
court in July last their bondsmen gave
them up, and they were committed to Jail.
At the Msy term John S. Perry vas also
indicted as being implicated and gave
bond for his appearance. The cases have
attracted much attention, as the defend
ants and witnesses were all intelligent
and hne.looking men. The in,
dictments charged that the
three defendants had adopted
systematic plan Of roboing freight cars
in their charge. They would break orer
the cars and after removing such mer
chandise as suited their fancy would mai
up the boxes and close the CARS, remov-
ing their plumber at Denison. John J

What tho Star SAYS


special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9,-The Star says
tonight: "The tariff conference at Oak
View is over. The plan for the tariff re-
duction mapped out is, the Star has be
fore stated, for substantial reduction
Of the custom duties accompsn led by the
repeal OF the tobacco tax, as sugar coat
ing for the Virginia aud North Carolina
delegations. The principal matter Of
doubt is as TO the course OF
the administration toward Mr..
Randall. The disposition of the
President is 10 treat the whole
question with frmness and vigor. Car
Isle and Scott, it is understood, are more
cOnciliatory in their attitude. MIR. Scott,
it is understood, was of the impression
that Mr.. Randall could be conciliated end
coaxed to following the plan Of The ad-
minist alton. MIR. Randall's attitude, il
is practically certain, cannot be brought
to agree with the Administrations
but as it will be brought before
the House the fact that he has
notsbeen consulted in the matter OF form
ing the plan will in the first place predis.
! pose him
Fort Worth daily gazette. (Fort Worth, Tex.) 1882-1891, 1887-09-10
TO ANTAGONIZE IT

In the second place the substantial reduc-
ton OF the customs duties will in all
probability be too substantial to meet
with his views. Then comes the ques-
tion Of how he is to stand in the party as
an opponent OF the policy Of the admins
tration, Whether they have definitely
decided to treat him as an
enemy and Iun right over him if he fails
to acquiesce in the plan is uncertain. Mr..
Scott is personally friendly with Mr.
Randall and Mr. Carlisle is naturally dis
posed to no violent action. The Presl-
dent has been advised to send for Mr..
Randall to tel. him what the administra-
ton policy will be snd to warn him that
if he is not going to WORE
with them he Will be treated as
al outside opponent. The chances are
| that the plan will be TO make overtuTes
to him ss far as it is consistent with a de
termination to substantially reduce the
tariff and to use all their power against
him if he refuses to meet the party in

The Militia.

The War Department has of late bet n
engaged in collecting information concern
iLg the strength of the militia force of the
United States Letters ha We been sent to
the adjutant- generals Of the States, and all
the answers so far received are encourage
ing. The department intends in the fu-
ture to look more carefully after the in
terests Of the militia, as it is in that
direction the government will have to look
for protection in the event of war. The
appropriation for the maintenance Of the
militia for this year is sufficiently large to
provide the force with better arms and
equipments. The officials of the depart
ment are we'll satisfied with the increase
of the militia. The reports for the year
just ended show an increase Of about l0,-
600 in the organized branch of the militia
force and nearly a million in the unorga-
nized. There are now over "a 900 militia
men in a state of thorough organization,
and over 100000 men available for mill
tary service. The War Department is
also gathering information as to the IA
cilities possessed by the different rail,
roads for the transportation Of troops.
OF course these are inquiries and precau-
tions to learn as near as practical what the
dependence of the government would be
in case Of actual hostilities. There are no
indications of any serious trouble on hand.
The militia is the defensive, and if neces-
sary, offensive power of the country. 1t
stands, under the Republic, for the i'm
mense standing armies of the old country,
which draw the substance of the people.
With Americans, each one feels that he is
part of the goyernment-has a proprie-
tary interest. in it, and that it is his duty to
protect and defend its interests. All that is
necessary, is for the constituted authorities
to give notice that these interests are
threatened, or are in jeopardy and that they
must he defended, for an army of a mil.
lion to spring into the arena, to meet any
emergency that may exist. It is a preg.
nant commentary upon the character of
our popular institutions, and of a govern
ment of the people. for the people and by
| the people.

For the VIRGINIAN.
TO ISABEL.
By H. j. GRAY.


Hard by yon wood, there stands an oak
Marked by the lightning's whitening stroke,
Stunned by the woodman in his ire
And scorned alike foIsfood or ire
Yet oft times in the month OF June
A little bird with plaintive tune.
Sits in its branches all the day
Singing it's oft repeated lay;
I am that oak, 'twere sad to tell
And thou that bird, my Isabel
There is q mountain grim and gray,
All gloomy in the glare of day,
Where hoary winter stern and drear,
Relentless reigns from year to year:
But on that mountain midst it's SHOWS,
A rose bud gay in beauty grows,
Giving Its fragrance to the gale
Like the sweet fowrets of the vale.
Thou art that bud my darling child
And that gloomy mountain wild.
Far away in the Indian Sea,
Where meier is heard the voice of glee,
There is a dreary, desert isle
Fit for the wretched and the vile,
Where tempests in their fury rave
And many seaman finds his grave;
Yet cen for 1t a kindly star
Benisaant sheds its rays afar,
1t is thy mothers loving smile
For me that bighted ocean isle.

they are gradually finding their way into

is higher than is usually paid for other
ores, but the price for iron has increased
50 rapidly that these higher priced ores
can be afforded, as the outlay is compen-
